On October 3rd, we blogged that although Worklight customers applied a needed security fix, Google would still flag some Android apps in the Play store as still needing the security fix: https://www.ibm.com/developerworks/community/blogs/worklight/entry/google_play_store_incorrectly_flagging_worklight_apps?lang=en Within the last few days, Google Play appears to have modified their flagging technique, based on our outreach to them. This new flagging technique will take into consideration Worklight customers that applied the security fix. So for... [More]

The Google Play Store is notifying app developers who are using a version of Cordova that is less than 3.5.1 that their app is built on a version of Apache Cordova that contains security vulnerabilities and they should upgrade to Apache Cordova 3.5.1 or higher as soon as possible. While correct in general, this is not the case for IBM Worklight customers who have already applied the fix for the vulnerability. Please see the security bulletin: http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21681138 It appears from observation that... [More]

In this post, I will step through the process of accessing iBeacon information with a Hybrid application by taking advantage of the included Apache Cordova framework. I will focus on creating an iOS plugin using Apple's API, but interacting with iBeacons can be cross-platform by using third-party libraries. Important Note: The iBeacon API was released in iOS 7. While the adoption rate of iOS 7 is very high, it may be important to fallback to a different API if the device is running a version of iOS less than 7.0 Introduction to iBeacons... [More]

Abstract Worklight allows us to create hybrid apps, using modern web technology to create most of our UI elements and logic, whilst still offering the ability to drop down to native code for either UI or logic when necessary. One easy way of stepping down to native code is by using Cordova plugins. In this walkthough, you'll create a Worklight application which can scan barcodes using the camera on an iOS device.
